「Aina-sama, the bow and scroll are ready.」
「Really, then load them into the wagons.」
「How about the food supplies?」
「Well
 five days, maybe.」
Aina, who was supposed to accompany Shirakaba-san, was giving instructions to her subordinate knights, and they were in a hurry. Whenever it’s about Noriharu, she mentioning can be annoying

「Aina, what are you doing? Shirakaba-san’s already gone.」
「Ohh, Kaname
 if you’re talking about Noriharu
 he asked me to look after you.」
She answered my question bluntly, but gradually Aina’s face turned red.
Nhn?
「Your face is red. Did you catch a cold? You’re about to go into battle
」
「Y–You’re, a–annoying me
! I was just basking in the afterglow
 of the hug Kenji had given
 me! But make no mistake. People like that who play with people are unforgivable.」
As usual, she’s a pain in the ass.
Somehow, I can imagine the interaction between them.「Why should I follow Noriharu’s instruction?」, then,「Please, Aina
 you’re the only who can do this.」Then a tight embrace after that.
The usual crisp expression on her face has become slack, and even drool is leaking from the corners of her mouth, so she is seriously ill even before the fight.
「Ahhh, Noriharu! I wuv you, I really wuvv you!」
She crosses her arms in front of her bikini breastplate, her lips pouting and writhing in agony. The female knight who was giving instructions to her subordinates with an interesting expression just a moment ago is gone. She is just a pretty maiden.
I was almost killed by Aina, but

In a way, Aina may be playing with Shirakaba-san. I think he is a sinful man, even though he is my mentor. Well, I guess Aina herself knows that.
The four of us, as the advance party, saw off Shirakaba-san and the others as they departed. Through Aina’s intercession, Yurielle was allowed to provide logistical support, so she was busy preparing for that.
So called logistics mission.
「Aina, while you’re at it, do me a favor
」
「Nhn? Huh, what is it?」
I make a certain request of her. After a pensive look, she nodded her head and said,「I understand,」she and her knights quickly put on their armor and changed their equipment.
「Kaname-sama, we should leave as soon as we are ready! I am very worried about the people in town
」
「Ohh, you’re right. But we’ll have to wait a little longer, Marielle. Aina and the others aren’t ready yet.」
「Yes
」
Marielle with a somber look on her face. I bow down to Yurielle, who is holed up in the castle and refuses to go to the front lines, while I bow down to her willingness to put herself at risk for the people of the city.
I really wish I could give Marielle full control of Yurielle!
Leaving Aina to lead the way, we walk along the street toward the town of Conwell. The streets, which were originally supposed to have been paved with cobblestones and well maintained, had become muddy on the exposed ground after the paving stones were removed, making it difficult for wagons carrying goods to proceed easily.
「Hnnngh!」
「Push it all at once——!」
The wheels get stuck in the muck, and they breathe with the knights and push in together. For a moment, the thought crossed my mind that I could use ice magic to harden the water, but I gave up because the whole wheel would harden and make things even worse.
Who spread lies, exaggerations, and confusions like “slow life and fun in another world!”
「Kaname-sama—! Everyone, do your best—!!」
Marielle smiles and cheers us on. Just a glimpse of her radiant smile and raw thighs peeking out from her short skirt gave me a tremendous buff.
「Orrryyaaahhhhh—!!!」
When we pushed off the leverage, it successfully engaged with the planks underneath and the wheels slowly started to move and we were able to escape from the muck. Marielle handed out hand towels to all those who helped her escape.
「Oh
 Marielle-sama looks like a goddess.」
「I’m not that kind of goddess, I’m just an incompetent saint.」
Too low self-esteem

Marielle’s response caused everyone to feel a little stagnant

「That’s not true! Yurielle just doesn’t see you properly. I know because I’ve been watching Marielle
 and I’m not the only one, because we all know you’re awesome!」
The knights, cheered on by Marielle, nodded at my words,「Marielle-sama is the best saint!」they all shouted.
「Kaname-sama
 I–I’m so embarrassed
」
A cute Marielle, embarrassed, cheeks flushed red. Her cuteness is one of the important charms that boost our morale.
When we are in a good mood

Haaaannnggghhh—!
「Huh!? That’s
」
A sound-sensitive knight looked up at the sky and pointed. Everyone looks up, caught by it. An object passes over us. There was a loud, deafening sound, and then a gust of wind blew and some of my friends had their hats blown off or their helms shaken.
「Was that a wyvern!?」
「Ridiculous! There’s no way a wyvern could make that kind of noise and fly.」
「Right
」
Aina said,「don’t flinch!」but if an unknown object is flying, it’s not surprising. Even I would be surprised if I saw a UFO.
Marielle asked, noticing that I was the only one who was calm.
「Kaname-sama. Perhaps you know something about this?」
「Uhhh
」
No details.
But
 I know that it was a reciprocating plane and the black cross on the fuselage indicates that it was a German fighter. Shirakaba-san would know what that was. Unfortunately I didn’t know enough to identify it down to the model.
Two huge machine guns, disproportionately large for a single-engine plane, protruding from the backs of both wings

As the fighters swooped down from above and showered the golem, which was attached to the city walls, with machine gun rounds, it spread its hands and backed away as if it had been hit by a human machine gun. By the time the machine gunfire was over, the golem’s body was covered in wind holes and it fell over in a heap.
I had a general idea of what this thing was doing in the sky. The other day I saw a reaper with a rifle, but I didn’t think he could summon even a fighter plane
 Not sure, but I could only assume so.
Lilith, who had been hiding in a box on the wagon, peeks out.
「With my magical power, I could easily defeat a golem of that caliber.」
「You are not to go the extra mile. You’ll complicate things.」
「What are you doing? Is that any way to treat a lady?」
I pushed it back into the box with a gulp.
A graceful lady? You must’ve mistaken yourself for a MILF, age-wise.
I honestly appreciate the help. But I really don’t want this girl to be stigmatized as a kindred killer if possible. As I was dealing with Lilith, the fighter flew away and was gone.
「Look at that!」
The knight points to the sky again. Is today the day of the sky warning at all?
Shit!
This was no time to be complacent. There were numerous black spots in the sky. A knight with good eyesight confirmed this and told those of us who had formed up vertically on the street that there were black dots in the sky.
「It’s a gargoyle!」
It’s transmitted to the tail end of the line like a game of messages in a lengthened formation. The knights were assembling in a wider area, as I had told Aina, in preparation for the attack of the monsters.
「Marielle, stay here and hide. We’ll take care of it.」
「But, what about you, Kaname-sama
」
「I’ll be fine. After all, the saint is with me.」
Gargoyles attack the assembled knights simultaneously from the sky.
Their aim is still the Healer.
But

「Hahah! You fool, you’ve got it all over you! Kick them to the curb!」
「Hah!!」
That I wished for Aina. Aina and her allies, disguised as priests, set about intercepting the gargoyles. Some with bows, some with maces, and some with magic.
Gyaawahh!!
Aina’s mace crushes the skull of a gargoyle, and the gargoyle dies.
I
 she cut it down, didn’t she? With that kind of power from a blunt weapon, if it had been a large sword with a blade, it would have seriously cut my body in half
 Kuwabara-kuwabara.
I was fighting alongside Aina and the others. I’ve recently learned how to fight.
I stuck out my left arm and a flying gargoyle bit me. A groan escapes as the fangs seem to reach the bone,「Ugh!」but I continued to press the gund-filled launcher against its chest

「Fire—!!!」
I thought I saw a flash of light leaking from the gap between the muzzle and the chest, and the gargoyle fell without power as a wind tunnel opened in his chest. Let the flesh cut and the bones break. This is my way of combat that will surely slaughter the opponent.
Hiding behind a wagon full of supplies, I swung a small machete at my forearm, which had been bitten and broken.
「Ngnhhhh——!!!」
I asked a blacksmith who makes machetes for decapitation to make me a butcher knife. I bit down hard on the cloth to suppress my voice, but the cutting surface is extremely painful.
I’m getting used to seeing it, but it still grosses me out anyway to see my own arm fly off
 But this treatment was the quickest way to heal.
【Phantom Pain】
When the unique skill was activated and my arm with the broken bone was picked up and aligned with the amputated surface, the fracture as well as the wound on the amputated surface was healed and restored to normal.
It would have been better if Marielle hadn’t had to endure the intense pain, but even if she could have healed faster than the other healers, it would have taken a while. Most of all, I don’t want her to see me hurt and sad.
I want Marielle to always be smiling, so

As we were piling on the muddy fight, Aina,
「We wooooon——!!!」
Learn more
Pause
Unmute
The knights raised their fists in the air in victory. Marielle and the others, who had been hiding under the wagons, came out.
My strategy was successful, and Marielle and the healers were unharmed, and the knights were only slightly wounded. I recovered from that, too, and is able to get back in the lineup again.
「Kaname-sama is amazing. I can’t believe you came up with this!」
「It’s no big deal. I just figured that if the other side was going to concentrate on the Healers
」
Just being complimented by Marielle makes me happy. I wouldn’t laugh at Aina at all either

I’m not as strong as Yurielle says. But I’m not a liability! I was just happy to fight alongside everyone and share in the victory.
「I never thought that Kaname-sama would be able to fight properly. Even if Yurielle-sama doesn’t recognize you as a hero, I will!」
「Hahah, I’m not happy to hear you say that from the top.」
I held Aina’s hand out to her, and she firmly grasped it back. I was happy inside though her response was like a tsundere like Aina’s.
「Aina, how long are you going to hold Kaname-sama’s hand! That’s enough, l–let go!」
「Marielle-sama, I would never steal Kaname!」
Muh!, Mariel’s cheeks are just so cute! My vocabulary is so limited that I can only say “cute”.
「Let’s hurry!」
「Ahh, yeah.」
We had successfully dispatched the gargoyles, but as soon as we entered the town, we felt something strange. There was something strange going on
 It looked like the advance teams were arguing with each other, even though the battle had concluded.
